Chapter 77 Carbon-based Biological Cooler
The four grandmasters were still gathering their strength, but Wu Zhu and the temple envoy had already noticed each other and then made their move.
The two rushed forward with exactly the same reaction speed and reflexes, and no one could detect the slightest difference.
The distance of two or three zhang disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Wu Zhu and the temple messenger collided violently.
Their battles were not like martial arts combat, but more like an art form. Every move was a simple line, every block was at the most economical angle, and the transition between offense and defense was smooth, representing the pinnacle of skill and power.
The interplay of offense and defense created a beautiful scene.
Amidst the clanging of the two iron clappers, the sound of a sword ringing out was particularly clear.
"To be honest, I've never really fought you in a real battle before." Si Gu Jian grinned maliciously, his sword tip pointing directly at Emperor Qing.
In an instant, a murderous intent surged forth.
"Three assassination attempts, yet you retreated in disarray without even catching a glimpse of my face. How could you possibly fight me?" Emperor Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his tone disdainful.
He hadn't been so uninhibited in a long time.
He didn't know what Chen Pingping was planning, and he didn't want to know.
Chen Pingping, Si Gu Jian, and Ku He wanted him to come to Cangshan.
Then he came.
He will not only come, but he will also crush all these rebellious people with the most magnificent power!
Before Si Gu Jian could make a move, Emperor Qing had already moved, bringing with him a fierce gust of wind as he stretched out his arm, thrusting it straight at Si Gu Jian's chest like a spear!
Simple and brutal, yet it carried the spirit of his entire life.
At that moment, everyone felt as if the mountain had moved!
"I am the Grand Preceptor's opponent." Ye Liuyun's white beard was wet with rain, but his eyes were clearer than ever before.
He had traveled the world for many years, all for this moment. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, he had no regrets for Daqing.
"Let's fight! Let's fight!"
The Grandmaster Battle officially began, and all the spectators felt as if they were witnessing a divine being.
The battles between Wu Zhu and the temple messenger were both alright, and neither exceeded the expectations of the spectators.
But the other four who can use true qi are different.
They are really flying!
The immense true energy not only provides devastating attack power, but also becomes their reliance for defying gravity.
They fought individually, each move capable of causing unimaginable damage. Every collision unleashed a thunderous roar and shockwave, the dissipated residual energy acting like invisible blades, easily shattering the surrounding ancient trees and boulders.
Ye Liuyun and Ku He are doing well; one is good at using leverage, and the other is good at defense, both focusing on wearing down their opponents.
The situation between Si Gu Jian and Emperor Qing was quite different. The crisscrossing sword energy and the aftershocks of their fists had already flattened a large section of several smaller mountain peaks nearby.
Jagged rocks pierced the sky, and smoke and dust filled the air, resembling a natural disaster.
Han Li was terrified, and his determination to learn a body-refining technique as soon as possible became even stronger.
He had no doubt that he could withstand this attack after reaching the Core Formation stage.
Of the six, the Temple Messenger was the first to give up. His model was not as good as Wu Zhu's to begin with, and the only reason he could hold his own against Wu Zhu until now was because Wu Zhu had forgotten his ultimate move.
Just as Wu Zhu was about to deliver a direct thrust to finish off the temple envoy, Emperor Qing suddenly deflected Si Gu Jian's attack, using the recoil to push himself in front of Wu Zhu. He then punched, and the surrounding air currents and gales moved with him.
The omnipresent air was violently compressed by pure force, creating what seemed to be a vacuum zone beneath the fist imprint.
Wu Zhu couldn't dodge in time. He raised his iron shovel to block, but his body was pushed backward by a tremendous force.
Seeing Emperor Qing abandon him, Si Gu Jian felt a surge of anger in his heart. He stomped his foot and shot into the air.
The air was compressed by Si Gu Jian's tyrannical true energy as if it were solid. In the eyes of the onlookers, it was as if the air had turned into water, and Si Gu Jian was like a long dragon playing in the water. In an instant, he arrived in front of Emperor Qing and raised his sword to strike.
The sharpness of the sword intent was so great that it almost cleaved the space itself.
Emperor Qing's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He stretched out his arm, and his powerful palm strike suddenly shattered the air as he met Si Gu Jian's angry sword strike head-on.
As the sword and palm clashed, a terrifying gust of wind, accompanied by a sound as loud as the roar of a giant thunder dragon, violently surged forth!
Within five zhang of where the two were fighting, the ground suddenly sank three chi, as if a huge pit had suddenly appeared in the flat ground.
Endless pebbles and mud rose into the sky like giant waves surging from the sea.
Emperor Qing stood majestically in the center of the field, but the sword that was slashing towards him seemed to hit a spring and was bounced away, hitting the temple messenger precisely.
The temple messenger, expressionless, thrust out the iron shovel in his hand, aiming straight for Si Gu Jian's waist. Si Gu Jian, equally ruthless, didn't dodge at all. He twisted his right wrist, pressing the sword towards the temple messenger's abdomen.
Si Gu Jian's right waist was pierced, and the temple messenger's abdomen was also shredded by the sword intent, revealing pale golden engine oil.
While everyone was captivated by this unprecedented battle...
Just moments ago, Emperor Qing was awe-inspiring and seemed like a war god fighting two opponents at once. His expression suddenly changed. He didn't even have time to make a complete defensive or dodge move. He simply twisted his body to the side with great difficulty.
Blood mist flew as one of his arms was blown apart mid-air.
boom!
Only then did a deep, thunderous sound reach their ears, startling them awake.
The battle between the grandmasters came to a halt in an instant.
Si Gu Jian's sword finger froze in mid-air, Ku He suddenly opened his eyes, Ye Liuyun stopped in his tracks, and even Wu Zhu and the temple envoy temporarily separated.
Emperor Qing stared blankly at his empty right hand, his face drained of color, and once again felt the fear that had been buried deep in his heart.
"What a pity."
Ten feet away, on a small hill, Chen Pingping put down the Barrett rifle in his hand, struggled to sit up, and with the help of his shadow, sat back in his wheelchair.
He aimed for Emperor Qing's head, but Emperor Qing reacted too quickly, and the bullet only hit his shoulder.
"Push me over there," Chen Pingping whispered to the shadow behind her, who was also in shock.
His position has been exposed, and with the Grandmaster prepared, he will not have another chance to fire a second shot.
Han Li: "What is this now?!"
This was the third time he had been shocked today.
Without saying much, Russell directly presented a Barrett blueprint.
Xiao Yan! "Holy crap, a Barrett!"
Zhang Chulan's lips twitched, and he fell silent.
This is a Barrett!
Anti-materiel sniper rifle! Taking down armored vehicles is child's play!
To put it another way, the Terminator in CF can only withstand 7 shots.
Logically speaking, a normal person would be blown apart if they were shot in the shoulder like that, but this guy only lost an arm after being shot.
Wasn't it supposed to be high attack and low defense? How did he survive?
A moment later, Shadow pushed Chen Pingping's wheelchair and slowly emerged from the hiding place, arriving at the edge of this devastated battlefield, where they faced the various grandmasters with their different expressions.
"Well done, Chen Pingping. You actually had this trick up your sleeve." Si Gu Jian's expression was not good.
When the bullets came flying, his senses exploded, and he was now like Hakimi in his Spinosaurus form.
"When dealing with a grandmaster, one can never be too cautious." Chen Pingping smiled, looking around at everyone present, and finally at Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, do you like this gift from this old servant?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying a sense of relief and coldness that had been building up for over twenty years and was finally being released.
For the past two weeks, he has been traveling at breakneck speed between Jiangnan and the capital, all to reforge this peerless divine weapon.
"You think you've got me cornered?" Emperor Qing's face was pale at this moment. Because of the fear in his heart, he could no longer maintain the calm and dignity of an emperor, to the point that he looked somewhat hysterical.
"Your Majesty may give it a try." Chen Pingping casually stroked the smooth armrests on the wheelchair.
Emperor Qing looked up in the direction Chen Pingping had come from, and unsurprisingly, the firearm was in that direction, aimed at his head.
But, does that really mean he wasn't prepared?
He was just waiting for his command...
"Is Your Majesty waiting for Eunuch Hong and Commander Yan? Ninth-rank archers, paired with powerful gunpowder arrows, could indeed be a formidable force. Perhaps even a Grandmaster would perish." Chen Pingping's voice interrupted Emperor Qing's thoughts.
